UNIVERSITIES SUPPORTING OPEN SCIENCE
The transition of Detritus toward a sustainable Open Access publishing model is made possible through the commitment of universities and research institutions participating in our Institutional Open Access Agreement.
By partnering with an independent scientific journal, these institutions provide their affiliated researchers with valuable publishing benefits – most notably, unlimited Open Access publication in Detritus with full Article Processing Charge (APC) waivers.
